Many Shades of Turquoise in the Kitchen
In the smart modern kitchen, the many shades of turquoise always seem welcome. There are several different reasons for this starting with the way in which most modern kitchens tend to embrace a backdrop in white. This makes it easier for you to add accents like turquoise and aqua without having to drastically alter functional aspects of the kitchen. You can start off small with tiny accents in the color along with rugs, window coverings or other removable features before painting the backdrop turquoise.
Combine it with White
The most obvious and easiest choice in the kitchen is to combine turquoise with white – a combination that is bound to serve you well for seasons and years to come. This color duo can be used with a large number of styles ranging from modern and Scandinavian to beach, coastal and tropical. It creates a soothing and cheerful atmosphere that is perfect for the engaging social kitchen where the entire family can come together each evening. This also lets you decorate the living area and dining space next to the kitchen in the open plan living without trying too hard.
Balance Between Color and Ambiance
So you have picked the shade of turquoise that you want to use in the kitchen. The next step is to determine where exactly you want to use it and in a finish that is appropriate. If you are using plenty of turquoise in the kitchen, then make sure it has a matte finish that tones down on the brightness. Painting the kitchen cabinets turquoise means the backdrop needs to be as neutral as possible while walls in turquoise can easily be coupled with wooden shelves and smart countertops. Find that perfect balance between an upbeat, colorful presence and sense of ease for a fabulous and timeless kitchen. Ready to embrace this refreshing blue?
